If in a population of size 'N' the birth rate is represented as 'b' and the death rate as 'd' the increases or decreases in 'N' during a unit time period 't' will be:

\frac{dN}{dt}=\left ( b-d \right )\times N

The equation given above can also be represented as:

\frac{dN}{dt}=r \times R, r = (b-d)

What does 'r' represent? Write anyone significance of calculating 'r' for any population.
